Tax Court Versatility

Unlike most accountants and enrolled agents, our tax attorneys are experienced litigators licensed to practice in the United States Tax Court, the U.S. District Courts for the Northern and Middle Districts of Georgia, and the District of South Carolina. We are former “big law” attorneys and provide our clients with the same high-level legal service they would get at a much larger firm, but at a lower cost and with more personal attention.

At The Wooten Firm, you are always our first priority and we are happy to work with you as a team to solve your problems as quickly as possible.

The Importance of Accounting and Confidentiality

When you work with Wooten Firm, LLC, you have the security of knowing your attorney has the duty of confidentiality. We regularly work with CPAs and enrolled agents to prepare unpaid returns, audit defense, and assisting with your case.

Consumer Bankruptcy

At The Wooten Firm, we will help you determine whether Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 is best for you. In Chapter 7 bankruptcy, your assets are liquidated, the money is used to pay off your creditors, and most remaining debts are forgiven. In Chapter 13 bankruptcy, your debts will be restructured and you will pay your creditors directly through the courts. As your attorneys, we may be able to make a deal with your creditors to accept less money than you owe them, and you will be able to retain your assets.

We may be able to make a deal with your creditors to accept less money than you owe them, and you may be able to retain your assets.

Sometimes we can have you tax debt eliminated through bankruptcy and without you having to pay the IRS. It should be remembered that when you file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, some of your debts will not be forgiven, including some back taxes, certain unpaid student loan debt, and unpaid child support or spousal maintenance.

Innocent Spouse Relief

Innocent Spouse Relief was created by the IRS to protect spouses who, though they filed a joint return, were not involved in their spouse’s or former spouse’s misdeeds in terms of reporting income or claiming deductions.

Our attorneys can protect you from this situation in a number of ways:

Perhaps you have been living separately from your spouse; perhaps you had no reason to know that the return filed was incorrectly. Whatever the reason, you are not responsible for your spouse’s offense, and you can be sure we will find it and use it to protect you.

Our attorneys will help you understand the complexities of innocent spouse relief, both in Georgia and South Carolina. Laws in both states allow relief from liability when the spouse filing the joint return has incorrectly reported income without the knowledge or consent of the “innocent spouse.” The latter must be able to prove that he or she did not know, nor have reason to know, that income was reported incorrectly to understate the amount of tax owed. In some cases, the court has ruled that the educational level of the “innocent spouse” is pertinent in deciding whether that spouse should be expected to know the basics of tax liability.

Whatever the reason you are not responsible for your spouse’s offense, you can be sure we will find it and use it to protect you.
